[hardtail free rider]

[i hope this works]

 

[jays_5000]

shermans would be sweet

 

[hardtail free rider]

[Fritta]

hey were you out riding at aniversary trail tonight?
and someone was filming you?
i recognise your bike

 

[Daver]

i'm not a fan of shermans... how about fox vanilla R's- they are awesome...... nice bike but!

 

[Rik]

Hmmm, your nick and your bike are much suited to each other.

 

[ELX]

Sweet bike. What are the specs??

what model norco frame is that ?

looks sweet
shermans would be cool

 

[Bender is CRAZY]

Shermans aren't heavy, they are really nice, i love them. We need some specs, it is a rampage frame.

Shermans shit me badly... why not get a fox vanilla R fork?

Just curious, but why? I rode oz-freeriders, I hated em just pedalling round bouncing on em, but as soon as they start to hit the bumps, they're phenomenal. Didn't like the feel for streety riding tho.

BTW Daniel, that bike is looking good now! Enjoy 8)

ride the fox vanillas... they r sex... better action than dorados ( IMO)

 

[Ty]

well i've spent a fair bit of time on vanillas and some time on shermans and i gotta say they are different but neither one is better, to be fair you can't carpark test shermans you really have to get them out on the trail.

i'm actualy considering swapping my Vanilla RLC for a sherman of some kind.

 

[DOM]

if Sherman's are to heavy for you .. hit the weight room Jr.

I had Flicks and they were fine.

Great fork.

What sort of Dirtjumper worries about fork weight ?
